“I'm very, very humbled and glad. I really appreciate that I was able to be a part of this in the last three years and I would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody.

"First and foremost, the chairman and the board, the supporters, my backroom staff and my players - everybody who really helped and worked for this football club to give me an environment of warm welcome and of support.

“I am happy so many people were part of what we have done in the last three years and now it's up to us to make sure that this continues.”

Despite a difficult start to Town’s 2018/19 campaign, during which wins have been particularly difficult to come by and goals have been few and far between, Wagner continues to maintain his optimism.

“For sure this football club was different three years ago - everything in the football club,” he said.
